Kentucky's chief beekeeper would like to see the numbers of her colleagues grow across the state in 2015.
State Apiarist Tammie Horn said there are only a couple hundred commercial beekeepers in the U.S. Horn, a senior researcher at Eastern Kentucky University, says the vast majority of those who tend hives in the Commonwealth are part-timers, otherwise known as sideliners. She said these beekeepers can still see financial benefits.
